APPARATUS FOR SHAMPOOING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 325,098, dated August 25, 1885.

Application filed May 22. 1885.

T0 all whom it may concern.-

Beit known that I, HENRY MAIS, of Boston, in the County of Sufi'olk, of the Common wealth of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Apparatus for Shampooing and I do hereby declare the same to be described in the following specification and represented in the accompanying drawings, of which Figure 1 is a side View, and Fig. 2 a longitudinal section, of an apparatus ot' my invention, the nature of which is defined in the claims hereinafter presented.

It consists not only of a hollow Sphere, A, having three short tubes, a a and I), exteuding from and opening out ot' it at or about equal distances apart, but of three long fiexile or Vulcanized-india-rubber tubes, B, G, and D, and a sprinkler, E, all being arranged as represented. The tubes a are inserted water-tight within the lower ends of the rubber tubes B and C, the short tube b being in like manner inserted water-tight in the upper end of the rubber tube D, into whose lower end the sprinkler E is similar-ly fixed.

When the apparatus is in use, the upper tubes, B and C, are at their free ends to be applied to the hot and cool water faucets of a wash-basin, the two faucets at their outer ends being introduced water-tight within the tubes. On the faucets being opened and water allowed to escape from them, it will be conducted into the hollow sphere, and will (No model.)

flow around in such, so as to reduce the combined hot and cold streams to an even temperature before escaping through the tube D into and through the sprinkler. The sphere serves as a handle for a person to grasp in holding the apparatus by one hand, while with his other hand hold of the sprinkler he may 'ee directing the effluent water 'upon his own head or that of another person.

I do not confine my invention to having the part A a sphere in form, as it may be a bulb, oval, or of other proper sha-pe, so long as it may answer as a means ot' interminglin g the currents of cool and hot water, so as to reduce the temperature of one and increase that ot' the other to bring them when combined to a uniform or substantially uniform temperature.

1 claim- 1. The combination of the hollow spherc, the three fieXile tubes, and the sprinhler, arranged substantially as set forth.

2. The combination of the hollow Sphere, provided with the short tubes extending from it, with the three flexile or longer tubes encom passing and fitting to the said short tubes, and with the spriukler inserted in and fitted to one of such flexile tubes, all being substantially and for use-as set forth.

HENRY MAIS.
